The Government has decided to postpone the Victory Day celebrations which was scheduled to be held on May 20 at the Galle Face Green due to the prevailing unfavourable weather conditions and heavy rains.
The war heroes commemoration ceremony which is due to be conducted at the War Heroes Monument at Parliament grounds has also been postponed,” Media Centre for National Security Director General Lakshman Hulugalle said.
“We will conduct these two ceremonies once the current bad weather conditions are over,” he said.
He said that the new date will be announced by the Government later.
